bad communication!
What bad communication? I hope yankee responds to my pm about bitcoin-bitcoin transactions ;_;
Sure, I don't see a PM yet, but will be online for the next few hours. I was asking if there is a way to do bitcoin transactions using the card, not just btc-usd/whatever. Maybe like an RFID tag in the card. Maybe merchants would start accepting bitcoin directly if they saw enough people use the cards Hmm, thats a good idea. I doubt MS or Visa would allow us to alter their cards, but maybe an RFID sticker? Throw me any suggestions! optional RFID stickers that can be placed on the card that can be used in conjunction with the RFID thingies some payment terminals have. Using software that is run on one of the businesses machines it will convert the USD amount to BTC, and send a request to the address on the RFID tag. Somehow you verify this (pin on the terminal?) and the btc is sent. |

I'll bet a bitcoin they've got one, that'll do your nfc stuff for you. sticker wouldn't be any good unless you connected it up to the chip but that would be *much* harder than just getting their contactless enabled chip (which will also be PCI compliant, at least until you install a bitcoin app on it) |

If this turns out to be vaporware, then color me disappoint. I'll probably head over to the speculation board and post a bunch of bear threads with excessive amounts of caps lock.

Roughly eight weeks ago the timeline for release was late October, so can you at least let us know if things are on track, or are there more delays? |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Roughly eight weeks ago the timeline for release was late October, so can you at least let us know if things are on track, or are there more delays? Things are still nicely on track. I never intended to give a timeline when I did, and even when I leaked it I said "possibly 6-8 weeks" which turned into '6-8 weeks' by word of mouth. Anyone involved in a debit card program knows its impossible to give a timeline. The good news is that we are still on track and making nice progress. |

After "THE September announcement" and "Bitinstant paycard" everyone should be a bit more cautionous with self-imposed deadlines.. ;-)
Yes, we are one impatient mob here!
Me too, can't wait to hold it in my hands!

Gavin didn't expect and wish for so much attention and expectations before the announcement, though.. The "deadline" given here was meant differently than it is now made of, I feel.. Ente |

At least wait until CES.
EDIT: Crap! Wrong card! I'm waiting for the Bitcoincard, which is supposed to have some news at CES. This is a different card I'm also waiting on. Sorry I confused the two.

I guess the original point stands, just slightly from a different angle: everybody thought it was going to be something actually important, then Gavin came up with an announcement nobody actually cares about. People did feel let down but nobody really wanted to be the one breaking this news to him/them. So...careful with hype, it builds easy and blows up in your face even easier. This is thE IMTERMET! |
